The vast ruin is a result of “Little Boy,” the uranium atomic bomb detonated on Aug. 6 by the U.S. Photo | AP With architect of mass-destruction Robert McNamara serving as the head of the Pentagon when SIOP-64 was developed, its consideration of hundreds of millions of human lives as a “yardstick” for military effectiveness is unsurprising. It is, however, no less chilling for being in character. Source: Mint Press News September 3, 2018 by Whitney Webb WASHINGTON — Recently declassified documents shed light on a U.S. nuclear war…

Source: Caitlin Johnstone Rogue Journalist May 9, 2018 Caitlin Johnstone Do you know who the single biggest donor was to any candidate in the 2016 presidential race? Hillary Clinton’s massive $1.2 billion losing campaign budget might make you think that it was one of the many, many powerful influencers who were looking to get on her good side prior to her anticipated coronation, but it wasn’t. The largest donor to any campaign was oligarch Sheldon Adelson, who gave $25 million to the Trump campaign, and who in 2013 said that the US should drop a nuclear bomb on Iran. After his election win, Adelson gave another $5 million to Trump’s inauguration,…

Source: Caitlin Johnstone Rogue Journalist May 8, 2018 Caitlin Johnstone Arizona Senator and murderous psychopath John McCain is rumored to be at death’s door, and already the world is being admonished by high-profile empire loyalists not to voice any criticism of his blood-saturated, obnoxiously long career. “Anti-McCain twitter seems to have reached new heights (or depths) of repulsiveness,” tweeted Iraq-raping PNAC founder Bill Kristol to thunderous applause from #Resistance Twitter. “In the hope that a few of the haters see this, let me say: I’m proud to have voted for John McCain for president three times (2000 & 2008 primaries & 2008 general), and for Donald Trump…never.” “John McCain reminds…

Spencer Green) Source: Mint Press News April 27, 2018 By Lee Camp Goldman Sachs has outdone itself this time. That’s saying a lot for an investment firm that both helped cause and then exploited a global economic meltdown, increasing its own wealth and power while helping to boot millions of Americans out of their homes. But now Goldman Sachs is openly saying in financial reports that curing people of terrible diseases is not good for business. I wish this were a joke.…

Source: counterpunch by Steven Goldsmith, MD Perhaps you heard of the Goldwater Rule, which the American Psychiatric Association promulgated in 1973. It prohibits members (I am not one, though I am a psychiatrist) from diagnosing public figures whom they have not examined. However, it does not prohibit shrinks from diagnosing the psychopathology of governments, which I do below. But first a related anecdote. During the initial months of my psychiatric residency, I attempted to treat one of the most frightening patients I have encountered. When police apprehended him, they discovered that this obviously disturbed man with a past history of violent crime was driving about the city with a huge…

Quotes

Government and freedom are mutually exclusive.

Government is the problem, has always been the problem, and will always be the problem as long as we continue to feed it.
